What a day! So very busy, again, and so very alone on the work! I really can’t wait until we have new hires on the floor; although, my commissions for this month are going to be great!
Last night was nice, there was a big electrical fire in front of the condo neighborhood, oddly there wasn’t any traffic and we had power! Greg and I had a nice dinner of burbon chicken and noodles and Amelia was so sleepy she was falling asleep as she drank her bottle (something she stopped doing a long time ago) so she went to bed pretty early. Greg was able to make it to the post office and mail the divorce papers for me (via certified mail), so that is done and over with.
While dinner was cooking and Greg was feeding Amelia, we were chatting about and then Greg states: “Why isn’t the TV on? I pay good money for TV and we’re not using it!” in a joking manor of course. I’m still not used to having cable in the condo and don’t really miss watching TV. So, around 7:45pm I turned on the TV and watched House Hunters (one of my favorite shows) and then watched ‘Prime Time TV’ beginning with How I Met Your Mother. Greg and I watched HIMYM together and it was a wedding episode. Later in the night, as Greg and I were lying in bed talking, I asked him what kind of wedding he would like. And we discussed what we do and do not like about weddings and we both agree that we do not want a traditional wedding and would rather have something fun and non-formal; we both agreed that our budget will probably go on the catering since we want food that people will be talking about for months after the wedding. We talked about what kind of wedding to have: outdoors, beach, garden, etc and thought of a few themes that we could probably do (a Hawaiian Luau; Bonfire; etc) and other small ideas.
Greg told me that he’s working on a project titled Operation Coffee. After a few questions I was able to figure out what Operation Coffee is: A trip to Seattle, WA and a drive down to California on route 101. Greg is planning this for next summer (hopefully) and this trip will be about 15 days! The trip is only for Greg and me so Amelia will probably stay with my Mom. It’s exciting to think about going somewhere next summer and that Greg is planning all these types of surprises for me and us.
Work has been insanley busy, again, and we’re down two people so I’m really feeling the impact. It’s stressful and I am completely burnt and exhausted.
Greg is going to visit his brother Pat tonight since it will be his last night home so that means I am on my own with Amelia. I hope she’s going to be as exhausted tonight as she was last night, but not too tired for a bath (which she seems to finally enjoy).
I’ve noticed that I have a few new readers; local readers too! Someone from DC visits a lot and a new reader coming from The Red Cross. Welcome! Hope you find my writing entertaining and feel free to leave a comment anytime!
Ok, now I am going to try and read The Post.
Over and Out.

That West Coast trip sounds fantastic! Won’t it be hard to leave your baby for so long though? Any family vacations planned?
Your wedding ideas sound like so much fun! A big luau and bonfire would certainly beat a boring standard wedding any day!

I agree that it does sound like a fun to travel down the west coast. Greg wants to take this vacation nice and slow and not rush anything.
I don’t know how I will feel about not having Amelia during that time. I don’t think I will be heart broken for her not coming but I will miss her.
I totally hope that Greg and I are able to do something fun and different for our wedding!!
